Adding a layer of intrigue to the unusual negotiations: New Kings GM Pete D'Alessandro was a Nuggets executive from 2010 until his hiring in June.

New Nuggets GM Tim Connelly, hired last month to replace 2013 Executive of the Year Masai Ujiri, who left for the Raptors, told reporters that re-signing Iguodala was his top priority this summer.

“I’m very optimistic,” Connelly said in June, according to the Denver Post. “I think he’d be hard-pressed to find a more attractive situation than ours, and I think he feels the same way. He’s a key cog to an excellent team. I feel great about getting him back into uniform.”
